["Automotive V-Ribbed Belt (Standard)", "Optional Belt"]
Drive belts transfer rotational power from the engine crankshaft to accessory components such as the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. Signs of wear include: squealing or chirping from the belt drive area, visible cracking or glazing on the belt surface, or a belt that feels stiff or has missing ribs. Replace a worn drive belt before it snaps and leaves you without power steering, charging, or cooling.
Motorcraft is Ford Motor Company's OE parts brand, manufacturing components to exact factory specifications. Of particular relevance for Mazda owners: during Ford's partnership with Mazda (2000s-2010s), many Mazda vehicles including the Speed3, Speed6, and NC Miata shared Ford platforms and components. Motorcraft represents legitimate OE-quality parts for these Ford-era Mazdas.
